Over the past few days, with the release of the Decryption key for Hi-Def DVD video, Digg users have been posting the hexadecimal sequence that comprise the Keys over and over. This whole “revolt” is equal parts pusillanimous and genius; the key is out there “information is free”; but it only serves to portray the same people as lawless to the IP holders in question.
The holders of these keys are sure to be wringing their hands over this in glee; proof that the tech community is nothing but filthy crooks. The movie advocacy industry (MPAA) can look at this in too ways; the community won’t rest until they give up the keys to the kingdom or the community is crooked (inherently so) and the DRM push is not going far enough.
Somewhere lost in this is that the community simply loves movies. When they don’t have entertainment, they create it.
Isn’t that what the movies are all about?
Why Welfare is Good
Published by NiteMayr on October 31, 2008It Benefits the country to keep the poor fed and clothed to keep them from falling further down the line and either dying or turning to violent crime.
Why is that a hard concept for you to understand? The lazy or the unwilling don’t look at what some people think is tough love and say “I’ll straighten up and go to DeVry and get a good paying job” they say “I’ll rob someone who can’t fight back” or “I’ll just give up”
It’s not a difficult sociological concept, Welfare (and the associated programs) may have it’s share of able bodied folks who could be working and are just gaming the system, but that’s the price we pay to avoid the creation of a massive underclass that would eat society from below.
It’s OUR society, not YOUR society, you may not like sharing the world with the poor and unmotivated, but they are still there and you can either keep them penned up in social housing and ensconced in the labyrinthine coils of the Bureaucracy or they can be on their own, hungry and motivated.
Welfare, it’s what keeps “The Poor” from becoming “The Hungry”
